The number of problems mostly, warped disks, failed parking brake, broken spring, interior trim fell off, gearbox linkage fell off, ignition immobiliser failed. Then the dealer atbreastude to the problems which was basically "f*** you, we've got your money." This wasn't helped by the discovery that they had used my car as a demonstrator for other customers before giving it to me. They called me a week *after* it had been due to be delivered to tell me that it had been "held up at the factory". Unfortunately for them they didn't know that I had a relative living close to the dealership who clocked them giving rides in my car to punters. When I challenged them they claimed that they had "road tested" the vehicle, they had put nearly 200 miles on it. And said relative wondered why the sales manager has been the one doing the "road testing." Since it was contract hire, I didn't have much of a leg to stand on WRT to getting compensation for them actually supplying a second hand car.
So I went back to a Jag which was both more reliable and more comfortable than sitting on a Teutonic van driver's seat make from stone lined with teak.
